In exciting news for action film enthusiasts, director Matthew Vaughn has recently shared some captivating details about an upcoming project he is set to produce. The currently untitled action flick, starring Chris Hemsworth of MCU and Extraction fame, alongside the talented Oscar winner Sam Rockwell, is expected to break new ground and revolutionize the genre.
Vaughn, known for directing films such as Kick-Ass and Kingsman, describes this project as 'a very, very special movie' that will have a similar impact to Kick-Ass. Speaking with Josh Horowitz, Vaughn revealed that the film is being written and directed by his stunt team and promises to break 'world records in the process.'
Having viewed a half-an-hour cut of the film, Vaughn expressed his excitement, though he remained tight-lipped about the plot and specific details. However, he did mention that the movie will 'reinvent an action movie' with an impressive 56 action sequences that are both incredible and original. Vaughn emphasized that the film will provide a unique viewing experience, as it showcases stunt performers who are simultaneously acting and executing thrilling stunts, without the need for any visual tricks or hiding techniques.
Joining Hemsworth and Rockwell in this groundbreaking project are several other intriguing cameos, which are sure to add further excitement and anticipation. Though the identity of these cameos remains undisclosed, their involvement hints at a star-studded affair that will undoubtedly captivate audiences.
Throughout his discussion, Vaughn expressed his deep appreciation for stunt performers, regarding them as the true superheroes of the film industry. He voiced his belief that these talented individuals often go unrecognized and underappreciated, despite their remarkable contributions. With this film, Vaughn aims to showcase their incredible skills and give them the recognition they deserve.
Chris Hemsworth, who has previously collaborated with stuntman-turned-director Sam Hargrave in Extraction and its highly anticipated sequel, is set to work with Vaughn and his exceptional stunt team for this project. The return of this successful duo promises even more intense and jaw-dropping action sequences.
In addition to this forthcoming action extravaganza, Sam Rockwell can currently be seen displaying his action hero prowess in Matthew Vaughn's spy comedy, Argylle. The film, directed and produced by Vaughn and written by Jason Fuchs, features Rockwell alongside a stellar cast that includes the likes of Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Sofia Boutella, and Samuel L. Jackson.
While details on the film's release date and title are yet to be revealed, the combination of Vaughn's visionary storytelling, the star power of Hemsworth and Rockwell, and the promise of groundbreaking stunts make this upcoming action movie a highly anticipated project within the industry and among fans.
As we eagerly await further updates, it's clear that this untitled action flick has the potential to redefine the genre and leave a lasting impact, much like Vaughn's previous blockbuster hit, Kick-Ass.
